I, for one, am not always anxious to delve too deep “within”, but this night there was a peace in the air that transcended any anxiety I had when I arrived, which allowed all of my senses to engage in the anticipation of what lie ahead.
An aura of mystery punctuated the atmosphere that seemed to entice even the revelers in the pool as the stage was set for the performance. The first thing that caught my eye was a carved elephant and I couldn’t help but wonder what it had to do with this “magical mystery tour” we were set to embark upon.
Mr. Redhouse appeared silently, in stunning ceremonial Native American dress, encrusted with beading and eagle feathers. All conversation ceased and all eyes were on him as he lifted one of the many artfully displayed drums, which were, themselves pieces of art, and began with one simple beat- a heart beat. He moved about the room, pausing by those he was drawn to; those he felt needed to share the beat more intimately.
We were completely captivated, all ages and races transfixed by this mystifying, beautiful being as he shared glimpses into his medicine man legacy, a healing world of peace and oneness with each other and nature. A Native American flute, specially tuned drums, whistles and chimes combined with dancing, hoops and eagles feathers all created from his own hands were carefully chosen from his collection to enhance and create understanding and harmony with the message he sought to share. For a few electrifying moments, we all shared that same heartbeat and all seemed right with the world. Some were moved to tears!
I took a friend’s hand as we were invited to take bits of sage from Tony Redhouse’s medicine pouch, combine them with our personal fears and anxieties and place them in an abalone shell vessel, and joined a long line of those wishing to watch our troubles blow away in smoke from the healing flame with which the medicine man set them free.
I’m sure his wisdom touched each heart in a very personal way, but his message was not unfamiliar. Ancient, and seemingly elusive in our contemporary world, being at one with ourselves, each other and our universe seems so natural yet so far removed from the harsh reality of now. Somehow on this special night all things seemed possible.
And the elephant? I was so entranced by Mr. Redhouse and the essence of what he represents that I am not aware if he even used it! I guess you will have to see for yourselves. It’s a rare opportunity to give your heartbeat a new pulse.
